Chapter 25 - Lucas
Chapter 25 - Lucas
Olivia POV
I walk into NYU smiling, although yesterday was scary as fuck I wouldn’t change me being with
Raphael for anything in the world.
I say hello to some of the students that welcome me back and I walk into Luca’s office, he is not there, I
drop my stuff on my desk and grab my phone walking towards the teachers’ lounge. I grab a cup of
coffee for me and another one for Lucas.
I walk back and I get inside the office putting the cup on his desk and walking to mine. I put my coffee
down and I feel a pair of strong arms hug me from behind. I laugh and when I turn around to kiss
Raphael I go into shock.
“I am working Raph…. Lucas” – I say getting away from his arms and my face falls.
“I am so glad you are back” – Lucas says walking towards me again while I take a couple of steps
back.
“Lucas, hello, it’s great to be back” – I say walking around taking a sit on my chair.
Lucas’s eyes fall on the desk now between us, creating a barrier.
“How are you feeling?”
“I am good thank you, and how about you? How have classes been? Do you need me to grade any
papers?” – I say trying to get him to forget about me and focus on work.
“Classes are fine” – he says looking down at me. I start to feel really uncomfortable with the way he is
looking at me.
“Great” – I say starting to mess around with papers that were sitting on my desk.
“Look Olivia, I know I have nothing to do with your personal life, but you shouldn’t be spending time
with Raphael”
“That’s it, it is none of your business who I spend time with” – I spat back.
“I like you and I want you” – he says bluntly and I choke on my coffee.
“Lucas, I am sorry but I’ve said to you before, you are my boss and it would be inappropriate for me to
have an affair with you”
“But I don’t want an affair, I want you, Olivia, these last days I’ve been going crazy not being able to
see you” – Lucas says
“I am sorry Lucas” – I say standing up and crossing my arms in front of me.
“It’s him, isn’t it? If he hadn’t shown up you would’ve caved, I felt on the Gala, I just needed a few more
days”
“Lucas please”
Lucas walks around the desk and grabs my arms pressing his body against mine against the desk
“Lucas you are hurting me, let me go”
I look into his eyes and I don’t recognize that man, he’s not the same from when I left. His eyes show
lust and desire. He is scaring me and I need to get out of there
I feel his lips against my neck and I start to move to try to free myself from his grip but he tightness
around my wrists.
“You will be mine, Raphael is a criminal Olivia, you deserve better than him” – he says against my
collar bone
“LET ME GO” – I shout and I hear someone opening the door hearing to my shouting.
“She said to let go” – I hear Michael and feel him pulling Lucas away from me.
“Hey don’t you fucking touch me, who the fuck are you?” – Lucas asks
“I am her bodyguard and your worst nightmare if you even touch her again, come on Olivia let’s go” –
Michael says
I look at Lucas with fear in my eyes but I don’t let him see me cry. Once we are out of the office I hug
Michael and I sob against his black suit. He tries to soothe me passing one of his hands on my hair and
the other grabbing me close to him through my lower back.
Michael takes me to an empty classroom and grabs his phone
“Please no” – I tell him grabbing his phone
“The boss will kill me if I don’t tell him” – Michael says
“I will tell him later, but now I need to go to the headmaster and make a formal harassment and sexual
assault complaint” – I say and Michael smiles nodding while looking at me
We both walk to the office and I ask to be seen immediately as it is an important matter, I walk into the
office and I explain everything that happened, why I was off sick, and Lucas's behavior.
I was asked about being his date at the gala and I explained he said I had to go because my presence
was mandatory and I could see on the headmaster's face that it was a lie. Lucas lied to me to take me
to the ball. I should’ve known.
Lucas was called immediately to the office and I stand back against a wall with Michael standing next
to me.
When Lucas walks in he calls me a liar and a slut. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“She slept with me plenty of times and now she is accusing me of sexual assault? That is
preposterous”
I shake my head and tears fall down my face – “That’s a lie” – I say
The headmaster looks at me “we will investigate this incident and the police will be here in a bit to take
your story”
I nod my head and I take a deep breath cleaning the tears on my face
Luca’s eyes burn on me.
There’s a knock on the door and it is the police, those were the longer 15 min of my life. Being in the
same room as Lucas waiting for the police was a nightmare.
“Mr. Lucas Scott” - they say shaking his hand, and they walk to the headmaster “Mr. Smith” – they say
The headmaster explains the situation and they walk with me to another room to take my side of the
story. When I finish they call Lucas and he smiles as he passes by me
“He’s going to lie to them Michael” – I say in a low voice
“Don’t worry he won’t get away with this” – he replies.
When Lucas walks back in Michael is called and he gives me a wink and he tells them what he saw.
Michael comes back “Is it all you need?” – he asks the officers
Both of them nod their heads “We will be in contact” – one of them says
“Let’s go Olivia” – Michael says and we both walk into Luca’s office and I feel a chill down my spine as
we walk in to grab all of my stuff.
I see Lucas on the phone and hanging up fast walking towards me but Michael places his big body in
front of mine blocking him
“Olivia I am sorry, I just need you to listen to me” – Lucas pleas
“No” – I say starting to walk away
I feel Lucas grabbing my wrist and Michael punches him in the face
“I told you to stay away from her” – he says
We both walk outside of NYU and I cry.
“I really liked working here”
“You still work here” – he says
“Not with Lucas anymore, I don’t want to see him ever again” – I say while tears fall down my face.
We walk towards the back SUV and I get in the back and Michael sits next to me.
I saw him texting the driver to pick us up while I was grabbing all of my stuff.
I need to go to my flat, I need to pack some stuff
“I packed everything you need” – Michael says
“Please Mike, I want to go grab some of my stuff” – I say and he agrees
I give the driver the address and I sit back looking out of the window.
When we arrive I walk into the building escorted by Michael and we walk into my flat that is almost
empty. I look around and I walk into my bedroom grabbing the rest of my clothes.
“Raphael just texted” – he says
“Okay” – I reply walking into the bathroom and packing my ordinary creams and my body lotions.
I look at the mirror and I don’t recognize myself. I am all puffy and tired.
I walk back outside and Michael is sitting on the sofa waiting for me.
I pass him a couple of boxes and we walk out. I look back at my old life and I smile.
Michael takes me to the penthouse and I walk in taking my shoes off and I walk straight to the
bathroom getting a bath ready for me to soak while I cry my soul out.
